Summary
The Royal School is seeking an enthusiastic and innovative subject leader of IT, to lead learning and teaching in the Computer Science department in our heavily oversubscribed all-through, day and boarding free school. The aptitude and willingness to teach a range of abilities from ages 11-18 is essential. The ability and enthusiasm to teach with a flair and passion is crucial as well as a flexibility to contribute within the department and to the development of a love of IT and Computer Science. We are looking for the best candidate to join the team so all applications are welcome and the ability to teach up to A level would be essential.
Are you the person to stretch, challenge, support and inspire our students in and outside of the classroom?
The Computer Science and IT department is at an important stage in securing the highest standards of learning and teaching for children in the school community. The department has three Computer Suites. Across the school there are multiple Chromebook and laptop trolleys, giving access to technology to staff and students across the school.
The school has entered a significant building programme where all areas of this well-established school will be brought up to the very highest standards. The department is eager to improve the standards and ‘passion’ of IT and computing for all students.
We currently teach GCSE from year 9, spreading the demands of the specification over three years, offering the best opportunity for students to fully master all topics. IT and Computer Science is a very popular subject at GCSE and A-Level. At present, there are nine groups in KS4 and four groups in KS5 and with the increasing numbers to the school, the IT and Computer Science team want to build on the positive exam success of previous years.
The school’s distinctive ethos and culture where a truly holistic view of the personal development of the child is central to all that we do. The wider ‘enrichment’ programme at this all-through 4-19 boarding and day school is essential and helps develop confident pupils well equipped for life beyond the school. All staff contribute to this extensive programme with their personal interests and to join in with existing activities.
